Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Many of our ESO1 students came across the names of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi or Malala for their very first time when we worked on Human Rights.

#ESO3

PABLO LUIS recites IMAGINE to observe the International School of Non-violence and peace Day. Listen to his voice here.

This academic year we have worked on Human Rights, for they are the basis for PEACE, in #ESO1, in the literacy lesson; in #ESO4, in the literacy lesson and also, in #ESO3, in co-teaching lessons of Social Science with Dr. Mónica Lanero and me. You may have a look at our work on this link.

READ THIS SHORT TEXT. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Nonviolence is both a principle and a practice. The principle of nonviolence affirms the active use of non-coercive and non-aggressive means to create a more peaceful context. It is based on the assumption that justice will eventually prevail, that choices should be made from a place of love rather than hate, that the hurtful action, not the person, should be subdued and that voluntary suffering has value as an important facet of life.

In practice, nonviolence involves ACTIVELY peaceful behaviour in the midst of conflict, becoming an example of consideration to those around us and breaking the destructive cycle of retaliation when we believe we have been wronged. It also means awareness of our own inner violence, and eliminating its negative effects upon our own intentions. Applying these principles of non-violence can reduce conflict, anger and violence on personal, local, national and global levels.
